Smartphone doubles up as remote control to hotel room TV

LodgeNet Interactive Corporation, provider of interactive media and connectivity services to hospitality and healthcare businesses, has announced a groundbreaking LodgeNet Mobile App for the travel market. 

With this app travelers can customize their hotel and travel experience in everything from the movies they watch, to the restaurants they dine in, to the hotel services and local entertainment options they choose and all this can be managed and controlled through their own mobile device.

Instead of using TV remote control, your phone replaces the TV remote and allows to change channels, set timers and control your guestroom TV from outside of hotel, you can order pay-per-view movies and control volume on the TV. The LodgeNet Mobile App enables hotel guests to use their own smartphones or iPad^® devices in place of the in-room remote for navigating the LodgeNet interactive TV (iTV) system.

To download the free LodgeNet Mobile App, go to the Apple^® App Store or the Android™ Market.
